Tramin Unterebner

Unterebner Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

This is not your typical Pinot Grigio. Made using hand-selected grapes from the Unterebner vineyard in Alto Adige, the wine is refined in large oak casks. After seven to eight months of lees contact, the resulting wine is rich, refined and elegant.

Acclaim
“Bright, light yellow; aromas of red and green apple, magnolia and a hint of lime. Medium-bodied, this is an appealing Pinot Grigio made with a delicate winemaking touch. Offering good acidity, lovely harmony and very good varietal character, along with pleasant notes of jasmine and yellow rose in the finish.”
— Tom Hyland's Guide to Italian Wines, Mar 2022
“This creamy white is finely-knit and light- to medium-bodied, layering juicy acidity with a detailed range of creamed apple, pastry cream and nectarine flavors, with notes of ginger and cardamom spice. Long and lightly toasty on the lingering finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Dec 2021
